TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
| SUZUKI: | 2007 Through 2009 XL7 (JC636) |
SERVICE INFORMATION
For your convenience, two Camshaft Timing Chain Service Kits (part# 12799-78810 and part# 12700-78810) have been developed for the 2007 ~ 2009 Suzuki XL7 (JC636) 3.6L V6 engine. These service kits are now available through your normal parts ordering system.
These kits were designed to provide all normally required parts (minus RTV sealant) necessary for servicing the timing chains when specific timing chain DTC's P0008, P0009, P0016, P0017, P0018, and/or P0019 have set as a result of stretched timing chains. Under this condition no other parts are normally required.
This revision has been issued to include a second Camshaft Timing Chain Kit that is now available for early 2007 model year engines. Please see the Kit Contents tables on page 2 of this bulletin for content and application information for each kit.
WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
Effective July 1, 2013 warranty claims for timing chain replacement on 2007 ~ 2009 XL7 vehicles must be processed using these kit part numbers; no longer order individual components, but do order a complete kit for the repair of this condition. No longer list individual part numbers for the repair of this condition within the claim submission; reimbursement will be at the total kit price only.

When servicing the timing chain on this engine application, it is recommended to follow these additional steps ("A" and "B") while the engine is disassembled.
STEP "A" - TIMING CHAIN GUIDES
- Clean and inspect the timing chain guides for reuse.
STEP "B" - NYLON CAMSHAFT THRUST WASHERS
In some instances for engines manufactured before June 5, 2009, nylon camshaft thrust washers may not have been installed and need to be installed between the cylinder head and the intake and exhaust camshaft actuators.
- Camshaft bearing caps with a curved upper portion require the installation of camshaft thrust washers if not already present. Inspect for the presence of a nylon thrust washer on each of the four camshafts. If the nylon thrust washer is not present, install one between the camshaft actuator and the cylinder head during repair reassembly. Select the proper thrust washer part number based on the camshaft actuator being a four or five screw type.
Five screw design use Suzuki part#: 12713-78J00
